The church in distress here magnifies her affliction; and yet no more than there was cause for her groaning was not heavier than her strokes. She appeals to all spectators--see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow. This might truly be said of the griefs which were suffered in Jerusalem of old; but Christians are apt to apply these words too sensibly and sensitively to themselves, when they are in trouble, and sometimes more than there is reasonable cause to warrant. All men feel most from their own burden, and cannot be persuaded to reconcile themselves to it; how often do thy cry out in the words we are illustrating! whereas, if their troubles were to be thrown into a common stock with those of others, and then an equal dividend made, share and share alike, rather than approve such an arrangement, each would be ready to say, "Pray give me my own again."--Henry. 2:13; 4:6-11; Da 9:12; Mt 24:21; Lu 21:22,23; 23:28-31 above.2:3,4; De 32:21-25; Job 30:30; Ps 22:14; 31:10; 102:3-5; Na 1:6Hab 3:16; 2Th 1:8; Heb 12:29he hath spread.4:17-20; Job 18:8; 19:6; Ps 66:11; Eze 12:13; 17:20; 32:3; Ho 7:12he hath turned.Ps 35:4; 70:2,3; 129:5; Isa 42:17desolate.22; 5:17; De 28:65; Jer 4:19-29Ezekiel 12:13
My net.This was to intimate, that though he escaped out of the city, the Chaldeans should overtake him, and carry him to Babylon. Jeremiah had predicted that his "eyes should see the eyes of the king of Babylon," and here Ezekiel foretold that he should not see Babylon, though he should die there; and Josephus says that he thought the two prophecies so inconsistent with each other, that he believed neither; yet both were exactly fulfilled, and the enigma of Ezekiel explained, when Zedekiah was brought to Nebuchadnezzar at Riblah, where he had his eyes put out, and was then carried to Babylon, and there died. 17:16,20; 19:8,9; 32:3; Job 19:6; Ps 11:6; Isa 24:17,18; Jer 50:24La 1:13; 3:47; 4:19,20; Ho 7:12; Lu 21:35and I.2Ki 25:5-7; Jer 34:3; 39:7; 52:8-11Ezekiel 32:3
